Words and Notion

Observe, Don't just see

Take a step back and laugh at yourself

by 90 Comments

It was a nice blunder. But I had no work around other than informing the concerned person. I had that habit of thinking over it and stressing myself earlier. But this time, I felt it better. Why things should be taken too seriously as someone says in lost art..?

This time, I felt no jumpiness in my stomach. Anyway, I was quite sure that no one else would be affected other than myself, if something bad happens. So this time, I was able to manage the pressure. There is no right or wrong way to live life, so why should I be worried. After all it’s all my priority and comfort that matters.

I expected a clean bowled after that blunder. But to my wonder, everything was back to normal next day morning with a reassuring mail from the concerned person.

Take a step back and laugh at yourself on your blunders and get rid of the worries.

    We are only human, and mistakes/blunders prove that. Else we would be programmed machines incapable of thinking and following orders, isn’t it?

    Everyone today was to a friend or infant enjoy the company of someone who has great sense of humor, we all enjoy time with such people, but we never realize that even we can be like them, all we have to do is laugh on our self.
    So set aside our hollow ego and pride and for once say goodbye to all serious stuff and just laugh on our own foolishness like a adolescent child.
    Lovely post 👌👌👌😉😉😊😊

    Yes and but that is how today people have become, all have got so scared and the writer is so true by saying that if Snow White and his prince were here at this time we all would be making a big hue and cry.

    This is so inspiring. Even I agree on this. I do a few things which according to people might not be right, but it gives me satisfaction so I do it. It’s always about priority and our comfort. 😊

    Very few people can laugh at themselves, and those who are able to do that are a happy lot😉😁

      Ya..it needs that less critic mind.. We always try to criticize ourselves, like mind says us, you did it bad, you could have done in a better way. And very few only have that sense of humour to enjoy the fun in their deeds

    What a great post and such wise advice. I certainly feel that life has become too serious and my best memories were always moments of laughter, so why not start by taking back, as you say, and laugh at myself. I forgot how funny I can be – funny acting, not funny looking 🙂
    Peace, Harlon

    You know, I do that a lot 😃😃
    Once I literally collapsed while walking and I started laughing before anyone could 😃😃😃
    It’s okay to be clumsy, imperfectly beautiful 😘😘😘
